I hope I meet Welshschmaltz and Pappacrappa one day. I will give you some "Southern Hospitality" you won't forget! If you know what's good for you, don't come down here propagating your atheist know-it-all crapola!
KevK- please stop posting in the Canadian forums, your ignorance of this country is almost offensive. We do have freedom of speech, satellite dishes won't get you thrown in jail, (and in response to his posts in another thread) we don't have "Canadian Miles", we use kilometres, like almost all of the rest of the world does. We also use the almost universally adopted temperature measure of celsius instead of fahrenheit, and despite what you may think, it does not take a math whiz to figure out. 0 is freezing, 100 is boiling, instead of 32 and 200, which actually seems a lot simpler.
HA HA HA. You obviously have not spent any time in the US. Try spending time in New England - not exactly a warm and fuzzy region. Or the northern midwest. Moderator cut: let's leave out the personal references
I find the people of New England to be among the friendliest group of Americans.
Yes there is. It's just not the typical "canadian" accent. it's pretty much the same as standard american, so you rarely hear anything that's different, unless it's singled out as different. That's why it seems you have no accent.
Everyone has an accent to someone who isnt from their area. I have an NY accent to people outside of NY but when I'm in NY around other NYers I dont. Everyone has an accent.
So what about jobs the crime and the cost of living in canada ..can anyone tell me?
You'll have to be more specific about what it is you want to know about "jobs". The unemployment rate is presently 7%.
Crimes happen but at lower levels than in America. Most crimes are property crimes. Not many murders and very few firearms related crimes - again that's all by comparison with America.
Cost of living is higher compared to America.Moderator cut: link removed, linking to competitor sites is not allowed
I actually would like to learn more about Canadian econ data, such as UE rates, and such. I am dual and have seriously about relocating. My only source of info is my infrequent contacts with my Canadian relatives and friends. My Aunt mentioned last year UE in Ontario was 7.7%? I have a couple of friends in BC and they said the economy just keeps going with housing boom/bubble.
A COL calculator will be interesting to see if it can really compare the two with much higher taxes rates, but healthcare completely paid for, depending on the province.

I'm American but i think i can tell you
Jobs, currently America offers more jobs and a more diverse amount of jobs
Crime is much less in Canada, but in America its going down fast
Cost of living is much higher in canada

Some pretty broad brush strokes here.. I think you'd have to compare where you live vs the pay in the job you are getting into to. For some Americans, making a move from an American city to a Canadian city may actually represent a good value proposition INCLUDING cost of living and of course vice versa. Even in terms of economy, you can't broad brush stroke that - it really depends on industry/location and other factors. There are red hot and also dead industries in both countries so it depends on what your field is.
I do know the general cost of items in Canada for goods and services have been moving more towards alignment with general American costs over the years (certainly not as bad as the past)... For some big ticket items like electronics its cheaper, but if its that important to the person, they could always just do a shopping trip across the border - no big deal. For many day to day items I can chop 40 percent or more of my bill by just shopping around. I know the same could be said in the U.S but competition also exists here in Canada lol so with not so much work you could save lots and lots of money over the year.. I know some people who do all their grocery shopping in one store... they're nuts!
I know for me, I wouldn't make a move to the U.S unless I was absolutely sure I was getting a job in my field (which i'd probably need to line up anyway) and that it paid me more whilst offering lower overall costs including healthcare, educational opportunities if I wanted to upgrade my skills and differing labour laws that would potentially impact other lifestyle factors. If it costs me 2 bucks less for a 6 pack of beer down there that's not so important when measured against the whole lol...
